Get the Gringo

After a botched robbery, Driver (Mel Gibson) is arrested in Mexico and thrown in prison where he ends up relying on the support of a ten-year-old boy who is there for a special reason… This straight-to-VOD action-thriller wallows in dirt, blood and every other grimy ingredient you can imagine is part of life in the hellhole Gibson is trying to survive. Co-written by the star, the story has a leading character whose misery and sense of humor looks decidedly Gibson-esque. Entertaining at first, this clichéd effort grows wearisome after a while.
